Update: The police added a couple more Monday incidents after I posted this; they’ve been added below.
The 200 block of N. Frederick extends from Walker & Chestnut Avenues to Maryland Ave. I think that there’s only two bus stops in that stretch — northbound the stop is in front of the Duvall Center, home of the 7-Eleven where day laborers still congregate, and southbound near the IHOP.
